Put the bite on greasy boulders and slime-covered cobbles without chewing up boat floors. Instead of the hard-and-sharp traction principle of carbide studs, the new Patagonia Rock Grip Aluminum Bar Wading Boots’ softer aluminum bars cut through slime yet conform to rock surfaces for superior grip. The flat bars also hold well in mud, won’t carry moisture like felt, and take it easier on boats than studded boots. The result? Max traction for extreme wading conditions and continued invitations to fish with boat-owning friends. A compression-molded EVA midsole and polypropylene insole/shank combination provides the rigidity and support you need to stay vertical and reduce fatigue on long fishing days. Heavily padded ankle support and reinforced toebox and heel counter offer comfort and protection in boulder gardens. There’s also a full-coverage, glued and stitched rubber rand and abrasion-resistant toe bumper for bomber durability. Synthetic leather uppers and padded nylon/spandex neoprene tongue cradle your feet, dry quickly and stay flexible. Wide last accommodates a neoprene foot wader; sole is designed to hold fin straps.
